It was another fantastic weather weekend and with a few more warm days ahead, it will be a great time to stroll around Barberton's Lake Anna and take a look at the results of this years Barberton Mum Festival!

The annual flower-fest once again turned the park that surrounds the lake in the heart of Magic City into a colorful display of dedication for locals and visitors.

It's that time of year again!  Those sleepy little towns along the Ohio & Erie Canalway start to wake up and celebrate their history and what makes them unique with "The Olde Canal Days" Festivals.  I grew up going to the one in Roscoe Village in Coshocton County, where my mom is from and where we lived for a few years as a kid, but of course the one in my adopted hometown of Canal Fulton is a much shorter drive these days, and it starts TONIGHT!

So much to do, so much to EAT and of course the Amusement Rides and Games and vendors and all the other stuff you expect and love at any small town fair or festival.

There will be Live Music, great foods of all kinds that it seems you can only find at these types of events, board the St. Helena III to trek down the Canal like they did many years ago, museum tours will be available and of course there will be a Grande Parade Saturday Morning and Fireworks on Saturday night... and the weather looks like it should cooperate for the better part of most of the 3 day event that runs July 11-13th.  See you there!
